NikonNIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR Mirrorless Lens

The media could not be loaded. Game changer!!!!!I absolutely LOVE this lens! It’s lightweight and portable, perfect for travel, great for any outdoor capture on bright sun and has completely transformed my approach to photography and video editing. The image quality is almost professional, letting me capture portraits, close-ups, and high-quality social media videos. I feel confident and inspired using it every day!

Worth every penny!This is a great lens for those like me who like to travel light but still have plenty of options, this lens not only has great range 28-400mm, takes great pictures throughout the entire range, it is well built and sealed. While I havent used it for a shoot yet, just testing it various situations it has shown me that it is a very capable lens.The photos were both handheld,The wide shot :ISO 100, 28mm, f/4.5, 1/640 sec.The tight shot: ISO 180, 400mm, f/8, 1/400th secDistance to subject; 20ft

After two decades of old digital cameras, I finally upgraded to a Nikon Z50 II with the kit lenses (which were a good deal that would have been twice as expensive if bought separately). But for hiking and taking everything from scenes to birds, wildlife, and near macro shots of flowers, I subsequently decided that I didn't want to either have to carry both kit lenses or frequently switch which lens was on the body. So, I took a plunge and purchased this lens (once it dropped below $1000). It is relatively LIGHT WEIGHT, has incredible range from "normal" (because of my body's 1.5X crop factor) to sizeable telephoto, will focus surprisingly close (providing ca. 1:3 I think), and its onboard VR is so good that I can hand hold it at full telephoto extension at rather low shutter speeds. Although I have heard that it may not be as sharp or "flat" (i.e., no pincushioning or barrel distortion) as a set of prime lenses, I haven't found that obvious or objectionable. Of course, at maximum telephoto, it doesn't have much depth of field unless stopped down further than its max of f/8, and then one must crank up the ISO. When rapidly changing focal length, the autofocus can sometimes "get confused" (and I haven't tried it yet on flying birds), but once locked on to a focusing point it does a good job of staying there through moderate changes in focal length. I am happy that I bought this lens, and it is the lens that I will usually keep mounted on the body.

Good all around lens. This is my go to for daily hikes since it’s so versatile. Coupled with a Nikon Z5, ot has worked well. Only complaint is it’ll focus on something other than the target sometimes.

I got this lens for traveling because of its weight, telephoto zoom range, and its price. I was using a Nikon Z9 and traveling in Mexico and got some great daytime pictures of Birds in Flight diving in the shallows for fish. I also used it indoors in Japan for a Sumu Wrestling competition. I got some exceptional pictures using ambient light from about 30 yards away. It also worked extremely well for daylight landscape pictures. I highly recommend . It's extremely versatile and well built,

I bought this lens wanting something I could use when traveling as I am tired of dragging a bag load of camera equipment through airport security.There are three things about this lens that make it worthy of your consideration: first, the construction quality is very good and the lens fully extended has no movement that I can detect. Secondly, the sharpness of this lens across its range is very good optically. Finally, it is combined with a functional VR which pretty well assures that I can get printable photos. I purchased this intending to simplify my travel process; however, this lens has proven to be an exceptional buy in terms of image quality and value.

THIS IS ONE MORE, QUICK FOCUSING , SHARP LENS FOR YOUR NIKON Z CAMERA. The zoom range is amazing. The versatility is great for those times when you are out for opportunity shots, A beautiful flower, a bright red Cardinal on a tree branch, a Sandhill Crane family in the shade of a tree, a deer on the golf course…all are in reach with this remarkable lens.. do yourself a favor. Buy one.

This lens is the sole reason I bought a new Nikon Z 50 II camera. A 28-400mm lens eliminates the need to swap lenses. I was using the telephoto zoom lens on my Canon for far away shots and my iPhone for close ups previously since I got tired of swapping lenses.
